Went on an unsuccessful "Harold and Kumar meets Dude, Where's My Car?" style adventure with my band yesterday, but the whole shebang ended with me and my drummer playing Guitar Hero 2 over some drinks and I realized how much I love the song "Who Was In My Room Last Night?" by Butthole Surfers. My drummer said he hadn't really listened to song except to pass it in the game, but once he heard me complete it, the riff got stuck in his head. 'Twas a bonding moment.

I'll admit, I'm terrible at Guitar Hero (I'm a bass player, so I have trouble with the chording bits), but we've started playing it as a band because it really tightens up your sense of timing.

The bassline in "Do You Call My Name" freaking pounds. I'm not the biggest Ra fan, but I LOVE that song.

Song of the moment is "Merciless Times" by Myrath. I happened upon this video almost by accident (it was in the sidebar when I was watching a nostalgic video from a Philly punk band I used to play shows with a lot) and it's pretty cool. Prog metal with Middle Eastern folk touches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMvqMHST2Is

Had my iPod on random during my drive and this song came on. I hadn't heard it in a long time and ended up listening to it 3 times in a row. It's "Only the Wrong Survive" by Toxic Narcotic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT1sg037k5k
